"BANJO" PATERSON.

- . ' ■; » -■•;;• This evening m the Theatre Koyal Mr A. B. Paterson, popularly known as "The Banjo," who brings back from South Africa a wealth of experience, will make his first appearance m Gisborne, and tell the intensely interesting story of "The Empire's Call, or New ;Zealanders and Australians m Action." Naturally, very great interest is taken m Mr Paterson's visit, and that crowded {audiences will greeb him with the same wannnoss and enthusiasm us have been bestowed on him wherever he has appeared goes without saying. Unlike most of; the war correspondents, "The Banjo" has witnessed almost all the interesting events of the campaign, and has some thrilling stories to tell, which he does m la most realistic manner, bringing vividly before his audience his many and varied experiences. He has'li good deal to say abbut DeWet, having ' personally met tnqfc 'slippery general, so that much can be learnt by hearing Mr Paterson. !Fhe cinematograph films and limelight! views shown during the entertainment are from "The Banjo's" own snapshots, and form a most interesting feature. Mr Paterson arrived last evening from Auckland and the Hot Lakes district, he has just concluded a phenomenally successful season.
